Since no one had called this landline for a long time, the servant did not react for a moment. A few seconds later, she ran over and picked up the phone.
"Is Mrs. Williams home?" There was a man's voice on the other end of the phone.
The servant didn't recognize the caller.
Although they all called Vicky Mrs. Williams, they all knew that she was actually not.
If she was looking for Jessica, she would still be Miss White and had not officially become Mrs. Williams.
The servant hesitated for a moment.
Jessica asked, "Who is it?"
"The phone said he was looking for Mrs. Williams." The servant replied.
Jessica was taken aback. Could it be that David called home?
She could now remember that he was the one who addressed her Mrs. Williams directly.
Vicky was also confused because the person who usually looked for her would naturally call her on her cell phone, not the home landline.
Since she was addressed as Mrs. Williams, she stood up to answer the phone.
However, Jessica was one step faster than her.
As soon as she picked up the phone and said hello, the other side hung up.
Vicky asked, "Who is it?"
"I don't know. When I picked it up, the other party had already hung up."
"Probably the wrong number."
She continued to eat.
Jessica went back to her room with her heart beating fast, thinking about the call just now.
In the evening, when Lambert came back, he checked the phone records at home and saw an unfamiliar number.
He called the servant and asked, "A call came in this morning. Who is it for?"
Because almost no one called except Lambert on the landline at home.
The servant immediately knew what Lambert was asking.
She said, "A phone call came in. It said it was for Mrs. Williams. Maybe it was a wrong number. Madam and Jessica were both there at that time. As soon as Jessica got the phone, he hung up."
"Okay, you can leave now."
Lambert asked the servant and sat in the living room for a while before looking for Jessica.
He knocked on the door, but he was shocked to find that no one answered.
Then he went to the studio to look for her. Just as he was walking, he saw Jessica coming in from outside.
"Where have you been?" Lambert asked unhappily.
Jessica sneered. "I'm just taking a walk in the yard. Where else do you think I can go?"
The closer they got to the wedding, the more Lambert felt that he was in a state of extreme nervousness.
Hearing that Jessica was not very polite, Lambert realized that he seemed to be too nervous and said, "I came here to talk to you."
They went through the studio together.
"What's the matter?" Jessica said.
"I'll have someone send you to Bali Island tomorrow. You go and get used to the environment first. I won't be there until later because I have to deal with the group affairs in Birmingham." He said.
Lambert's words were completely unexpected to Jessica.
"Isn't there a week before the wedding? Do I need to rush over so early? I think I'll be in Birmingham and wait to go with you."
Jessica didn't want to go there so fast.
If she were in Birmingham, as long as she did not get married for a day, she would have a hope that she might be able to escape from this high wall courtyard.
